>Regarding ADO, I think currently VFP does not support ADO.
Not true. There is an article in the June 1999 issue of FoxPro Advisor called "ADO Object-Oriented Data Access".
To the best of my understanding ADO is actually COM with the latest version being ADO 2.1 which comes with Visual Studio 6.0 (not sure about VFP 6.0 sold separately. However, the most recent version of ADO can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/data. Try the following in VFP:
oConn=CreateObject("adodb.connection") && If no error then ADO is installed ? oConn.Version && If this shows 2.1 you have I believe the latest version unless SP3 updated it
